This place has been our go to place! We are always so impressed with pizza! Very delicious and flavorful. I would say it's one of the best pizzas I've ever had. I love their tomato sauce. Their salad is amazing as well.

Went solely for an espresso martini that was out of this world and very fairly priced. The bartender was prompt and very friendly. Clearly people were having a nice time. I’d definitely go back!

Solid; great food, drinks & service; my only complaint is the flavors are a bit muted when the pies too hot- give it 5-10 minutes to sit and it transforms. For ranch types, their house made Caesar goes great with the pies.

Some of the best pizza I've had in Washington State, hands down. Haven't tried a pizza on the menu that I've not liked. I frequently hit up this spot anytime I'm in Tacoma. The food is consistently good, and so is the service.

One of the better pizza places in the seattle area. Pizza was light, tasty, and not oily. The vesuvio was a bit on the saltier side but the pepperoni was killer. Atmosphere is definitely a bar vibe with loud music and dimly lit but overall we had a great experience and will be coming back.

Atmosphere was a tad dark. However, the staff was amazing, and the food and drinks were sensational - we will definitely be back!!!

Bar Rosa has become a regular spot for us because of the consistent quality and delicious food and decent cocktails we have experienced the last 4-5 visits. The Wood-fired zucchini with corn puree is one of the best appetizers I’ve ever had- well-balanced flavors of smoky, tangy, spicy, hot,cold, & sweet and the perfect amount of salt. The Vesuvio pizza was cooked to perfection and the toppings were the perfect ratio. I highly recommend getting a side of their great marinara to dip your crust on. Caesar salad was perfection. Service is adequate, nothing overly special and the cocktails I have had have been ok, the pour is not as strong as I would like, but still good. Would love if they would get the single, large ice cubes for whisky as they just use the same small cubes of ice as they do for other drinks, which just ruins a premium whiskey in my opinion. Atmosphere on a Friday happy hour and Saturday afternoon was light, fun and airy with the large open windows. The real star is the chef manning the wood-fired oven, they clearly are an expert in their craft. Hilltop might be a bit sketchy, but Bar Rosa is a gem worth visiting.

I wanted to try Washington pizza. I didn't expect it to be better than New York pizza, but I definitely didn't expect to be given scissors to cut it. It was actually hilarious - I've never received more comments on a food post on my social media! In the end, the scissors worked just fine and the pizza was great. They had also excellent cocktails Surly a great place for a memorable night out!
